Ethics [Tuesday, April 6, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

"Much of life--especially in the realm of ethics--is about balance," Anakin began, making a show of not looking concerned that the seat Leia normally filled was empty today. "For every vice there is a virtue. We have covered the seven deadly sins--" he began ticking them off on his fingers: "Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. We've also discussed some of the seven virtues: temperance, which balanced gluttony, and diligence, which balanced sloth."

He began pacing the room. "The key to living these virtues is restraint, which is a very Jedi concept. We've already briefly touched upon chastity in our talk of love, so that leaves us with charity, patience, kindness and humility."

None of which exactly described Anakin. "Which of those four do you have the easiest time embracing in your own life?" he asked. "And which requires work? Do you think it's worth learning restraint to live these virtues?"

Bod was a little distracted during the lecture but managed to take a few notes here and there.

You would think after all the time she'd spent waiting to return to life, there-but-not-there, lying in the darkness, patience would be one of Illyria's strong suits.

You'd think. Humility wasn't very high up there either, despite how far she had fallen.

Charity and kindness... perhaps, she mused. If she felt like it.

Zack was listening to the lecture. There was even something kind of connecting the noises in his ears with words in his brain, but he wasn't looking up, either.

He was going to take off for the weapons locker like a rocket after this class.
